Deny Access to Applet jars from URL

[ramakanaveen]

Hi ,

I have an applet like
<Applet code="x.class" codebase="a.jar,b.jar" ...>

The above a.jar and b.jar are in defaultwebapp folder of web application which is a public access folder, so everybody can download the jar files by typing
http://url/a.jar.

The requirement is not to allow the jar files to download , so i denied access by modifying the <URL-Pattern> in web.xml ,

In that case the entire applet itself is not getting loaded in the client machine.

Is there any solution to allow applet to load and deny access to jars ,

I know this is not a sensible requirement , but i am forced to do this.

Thanks
